FINDING THE RIGHT

KART/CLASS

The decision to buy the right kart should not be taken lightly. There are a great deal of things to consider. The first thing that is needed, before buying the kart is working out which class your going to race. There are Kartsport Classes to suit everyone from 6 years to 66 years old. So we have to find the right class to match your age and / or weight. Each class has a MAW (Minimum Allowed Weight) requirement which is weighed kart + driver. Ideally you want to come under the (MAW) and then get your kart back up to weight using lead blocks.

Below are the classes available for both Juniors and Seniors.
